Overview
This course is intended to be a full-size course covering the Python programming language. We are going to cover basic constructions of the language, the design principles of the language, how different syntax sugar in the language works, how to work with lazy computations, and what do you need to know to write production code in Python. The course is intended for people who already had an introductory course on Python or who are familiar with one of the other programming languages like Java or C++.
Learning highlights
- Learn about the language and features of Python development tools
- Get to know the Python Standard Library
- Get to know programming design concepts and how they are implemented in Python
- Learn how to test, analyze and speed up programs in Python

Grading
In 2012 with scientific research in Algebra, Vladimir won 1st place at the National contest in Russia, the Intel-Avangard, and became a finalist of the Intel ISEF.
After school, he enrolled for Bachelors at ITMO University for the programme of Applied Math and Programming. During his Bachelor's, he participated in several educational projects: in 2013 he was a coordinator of the national science fair for school students - BalticSEF; in 2014 he was a teacher in the LCME summer school, teaching two courses on maths. In the last years of his Bachelors, Vladimir entered the centre of additional higher education, Computer Science Center, for the programme of Software Engineering. In the end of summer of 2015, he completed a 3-month internship as a Software Developer.
